22 Install SquirrelMail
To install the SquirrelMail webmail client, run...
yum install squirrelmail
... and restart Apache:
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
Then configure SquirrelMail:
/usr/share/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl
We must tell SquirrelMail that we are using Dovecot:

SquirrelMail Configuration : Read: config.php
---------------------------------------------------------
While we have been building SquirrelMail, we have discovered some
preferences that work better with some servers that don't work so
well with others. If you select your IMAP server, this option will
set some pre-defined settings for that server.
Please note that you will still need to go through and make sure
everything is correct. This does not change everything. There are
only a few settings that this will change.
Please select your IMAP server:
bincimap = Binc IMAP server
courier = Courier IMAP server
cyrus = Cyrus IMAP server
dovecot = Dovecot Secure IMAP server
exchange = Microsoft Exchange IMAP server
hmailserver = hMailServer
macosx = Mac OS X Mailserver
mercury32 = Mercury/32
uw = University of Washington's IMAP server
quit = Do not change anything
Command >> <-- dovecot

One last thing we need to do is modify the file /etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php and comment out the $default_folder_prefix variable - if you don't do this, you will see the following error message in SquirrelMail after you've logged in: Query: CREATE "Sent" Reason Given: Invalid mailbox name.
vi /etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php
<?php /** * Local config overrides. * * You can override the config.php settings here. * Don't do it unless you know what you're doing. * Use standard PHP syntax, see config.php for examples. * * @copyright © 2002-2006 The SquirrelMail Project Team * @license http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU Public License * @version $Id: config_local.php,v 1.2 2006/07/11 03:33:47 wtogami Exp $ * @package squirrelmail * @subpackage config */ //$default_folder_prefix = ''; ?> |
Now you can type in http://server1.example.com/webmail or http://192.168.0.100/webmail in your browser to access SquirrelMail.
23 Install ISPConfig 3
To install ISPConfig 3 from the latest released version, do this:
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ispconfig/ISPConfig-3.0.2.1.tar.gz?use_mirror=
tar xvfz ISPConfig-3.0.2.1.tar.gz
cd ispconfig3_install/install/
(Replace ISPConfig-3.0.2.1.tar.gz with the latest version.)
The next step is to run
php -q install.php
This will start the ISPConfig 3 installer:
[root@server1 install]# php -q install.php

[root@server1 install]#
The installer automatically configures all underlying services, so no manual configuration is needed.
Afterwards you can access ISPConfig 3 under http://server1.example.com:8080/ or http://192.168.0.100:8080/. Log in with the username admin and the password admin (you should change the default password after your first login):
The system is now ready to be used.
23.1 ISPConfig 3 Manual
In order to learn how to use ISPConfig 3, I strongly recommend to download the ISPConfig 3 Manual.
On nearly 300 pages, it covers the concept behind ISPConfig (admin, resellers, clients), explains how to install and update ISPConfig 3, includes a reference for all forms and form fields in ISPConfig together with examples of valid inputs, and provides tutorials for the most common tasks in ISPConfig 3. It also lines out how to make your server more secure and comes with a troubleshooting section at the end.
